Sevilla were always the favourites to land the once-capped Spain international after it became clear he would not extend his stay at Barca.

There was also interest from Italy and England, including Premier League side Wolves, sources confirmed.

Munir, who made his first-team debut under Luis Enrique in 2014, scored 12 goals in 56 appearances for Barca. However, he had started just four games this season after returning from a successful loan spell at Alaves last year.

His exit, coupled with Paco Alcacer's move to Borussia Dortmund earlier this season, leaves Luis Suarez as the only recognised centre forward at Barcelona.

Valverde's admitted the club may have to bring in backup for the Uruguayan striker before the end of the month.
